Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has thrown his weight behind the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) on grounds it has brought peace and stability in the country.
Speaking at the Methodist Church in Kasarani Stadium, Nairobi on Sunday, he urged Kenyans to back BBI which resulted following the March 9, 2018, handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his fiercest rival ODM leader Raila Odinga.
“Uhuru and Raila are brothers who were holding each other’s throat because of politics. However, they decided to put aside their political differences so that they can serve Kenyans effectively,” he said.
“Its time for all Kenyans to read the BBI report and support Uhuru and Raila. They mean good for this great nation following the handshake spirit," Kalonzo added.
The former Vice President spoke during the thanksgiving ceremony for the election of Joseph Ntombura as the first president of the African Methodist Council.
He slammed those opposing BBI saying they have been exploiting raw power and are now unhappy because the culture of corruption was about to be brought to an end.
The Wiper boss further asked the church to support the war on graft by declining huge sums of money from corruption suspects.
“People are becoming impatient with misrule and corruption and that is why we are seeing depression and protests. That is why I also call on the church to stop receiving money from illicit activities such as corruption and outright theft,” Kalonzo remarked.
